Little did I know then that I was making a sustainable pick! I'll warn you from experience; your fire alarm will probably go off, so have a towel handy to fan the smoke away. Well, it's supposed to be blackened, right?
4 (6-ounce) catfish fillets
2 tablespoons Cajun Spice Mix (see recipe below)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
8 lemon wedges
Rub each side of fillets with Cajun Spice Mix. Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve with lemon wedges.
Serves 4
Cajun Spice Mix
Leftover spice mix can be stored in a sealed jar for up to three months.

2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons dried oregano
